Lyrics

Let me tell you the story of a soldier named DanWent out to fight the good fight in South VietnamWent out to fight for peace, liberty and allWent out to fight for equality, hope, let's go

And the war drags on

Found himself involved in a sea of blood and bonesMillions without faces, without hope and without homesAnd the guns they grew louder as they made dust out of bonesThat the flesh had long since left just as the people left their homes

And the war drags on

They're just there to try and make the people freeBut the way that they're doin' it, it don't seem like that to meJust more blood letting and misery and tearsThat this poor country's known for the last twenty years

And the war drags on

Last night, poor Dan had a nightmare it seemsOne kept occurrin' and reoccurrin' in his dreamsCities full of people burnin', screamin', shoutin' loudAnd right there overhead, a great orange mushroom cloud

And there's no more warFor there's no, no more worldAnd the tears come streaming downYes, I lie crying on the ground
